In that moment, she felt as shaky as the breaths they shared.***Noah kissed her like his life depended on it, savoring the taste he'd longed for. Now that he had it, he never wanted it to end.As their tongues intertwined, she gasped and melted into his embrace, craving more. Noah dove in, his tongue exploring every inch of her mouth.

*** Grace made her way to the photocopy machine, despite the fact that there was one in the opposite direction. She simply wanted to avoid James's curious stare. Little did she know that evading James's curious gaze would only invite another annoying one. Susan, from the moment she stepped out of the office, had been glaring at her. Why? Grace wondered. *** As Susan watched Grace exit the office, her blood boiled with anger. How could such a person, a nobody with no background, be working under Creed? "No matter which bastard I associate with, I could never secure such a position. I'm his cousin, and yet look at me," Susan muttered angrily. How had Grace managed to bend the unyielding Noah Creed to her will, even to the point of conflict with his own mother? Unforgivable. Susan suddenly stood up, her steps purposeful as she made her way over to Grace. *** “Ah... Here comes the devil," Grace murmured as she caught a glimpse of Susan walking up to her. "Oh God, give me the stren

What happened?” He pressed.His question only worsened her present rage. “You must be talking about yourself, James, because I, GRACE BUSH, AM SUPER DUPER,” she spat out without even raising her head."Wow," James exclaimed, sensing the danger of continuing to pressure her. He gave up. "Sure, suit yourself." Though he had considered asking her again, her sudden angry demeanor made him think otherwise."Well, suited," she spat out in a fit of frustration.They worked in silence, James stealing glances in her direction. The rage on Grace's face remained as clear as day, so he decided to mind his own business.***Grace knew she could never have

***As they settled at a table near the window, Grace couldn't help but relish the cool breeze that wafted in. She took a deep breath, savoring the moment.When was the last time she had enjoyed such peace and quiet? She pondered, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.The shopkeeper approached, a jovial grin on his face. "What can I get for you folks tonight?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with mischief.Grace glanced at the menu before deciding, "I'll just have a beer, please. The cheap one with low alcohol," she said with a shrug. She had made a promise to herself to stick to one drink, and she intended to keep it.The shopkeeper chuckled.

*** "To the bone!?" Grace exclaimed, unable to contain her laughter at Noah's remark. "This son of a bitch," she thought to herself, chuckling. "Hey, I'm glad you find it funny," Noah said, his tone lightening up. "But seriously, Grace, I'm just trying to break the ice here. Can we please have a real conversation?" Grace rolled her eyes playfully. "Fine, Mr. Ice Breaker. Shoot." With a grin, Noah leaned forward. "So, tell me, what's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?" Grace's eyes widened in mock horror. "Oh, no way. I'm not falling for that one." "No? Come on, Grace, don't leave me hanging," Noah teased, nudging her with his elbow. "Well, okay," Grace relented, a mischievous glint in her eye. "But only because I'm feeling generous today. Let me think..." As Grace recounted a hilarious tale of a wardrobe malfunction at a high school dance, Noah listened intently, laughing along with her. When she finished, he wiped away tears of laughter. "That's pricele

***"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Grace screamed, as she snapped her eyes open, her heart racing as she sat up in bed. "Seriously, not again," she groaned, rubbing her temples. "I thought those nightmares were behind me." She mutters, trying to shake off the remnants of her unsettling dream.As she glanced around, taking in her surroundings, her confusion deepened. "Where am I?" she mumbled, her voice barely audible in the eerie silence of the room, still scanning the room. Her eyes fell upon the familiar sight of her closet, the furnishings of her apartment slowly coming into focus. "This is my apartment, but how...?" did I end up here?Memories from the previous night trickled back like a rushing tide, fragmented and hazy.

***"What are you...?" Noah's laughter died down abruptly as he watched her go, a sudden chill running down his spine.A pang of guilt tugged at his conscience, intensified by the fear that gripped him. It was a fear, unlike anything he had ever felt before, not even when he received the news about his own father's death.Without a second thought, Noah lunged toward Grace and seized her arm with a vice-like grip. "Okay, that's not funny, even as a joke," he declared, his voice trembling with urgency. His eyes widened in alarm as he scanned her face, searching for any hint of what lay beneath her unsettling attitude.But Grace remained eerily calm, her gaze unfaltering as she met his frantic stare. The silence hung heavy between them, broken only by the pounding of Noah's heart echoing in his ears.Sighing, she finally broke the silence. "And what makes you think I'm joking?"
